Last package was opened and destroyed. Wonder if this one was even opened. Either way huge thanks to my k20 forum buddy. Total life saver here. I guess I should ask fortune to ship to his address and have him reship to me maybe

Hmmm. So things I did differently Purolator instead of UPS 300 declared value instead of 1200 HS number provided in box(this is the tariff code for Mac struts/dampers. The code comes back as 0% tariff) I also provided an RMA number in the box Anyone of those things might’ve been the answer here

is this why? because originally i was shipping to fortune auto vs this time it was a residential address?

Well dampers have successfully arrived at my guys in Baltimore!! He will be reshipping tomorrow. Tracking didn’t show any fees required so I’m super confused on wtf went on here but whatever

100% this. It’s so true. Even the smallest help. It goes a long way with motivation too. Very hopeful!

I have reshipped now. Went through staples so I could shop around a few shippers. According to the dude NOBODY wants to cross the border. He hit me with a “Goodluck” as we looked at the options. FedEx ground being the cheapest at $75…to bad FedEx has cancelled all ground shipping. Too much...

It doesn’t make sense to me either. I think I’m the first Canadian to send anything in since all of this political bs. I’ve got a guy on the k20 forum who’s gonna take care of it. He offered to just have me ship to him. He’ll take care of the fees and reship to fortune auto. He’s helped me...

I’m kinda a hostage here ain’t I. It sucks. I am going to try and make the fortune auto deal work. If I can’t get this cross border business sorted out then worst case I may have to sell and try the ktuned stuff. I do like the idea of having support local for sure. They support 2 8th gen’s...

Still needs this stupid certificate of origin. Politics. Fucking terrible

I am definitely open to the assistance of anyone in this matter. I would love to have these reworked as discussed. Knowing the rear is so wrong I definitely ain’t reinstalling these. There’s a guy on the k20 forum trying to see if he can help. He owns a few Midas shops on your guys side of...

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I could bring them to Buffalo and ship from a ups store there? I’m just worried if the border asks me wtf I’m doing do I just say I’m going shopping? Maybe not believable with the current exchange rate

Fortune auto is in Virginia. 11 hour drive one way if I wanna deliver them. I could take a day or two off and just send it non stop. That sounds like a pain too. This shouldn’t be so hard

I guess the problem is the border. If I ship them to anyone of you guys, same shit. They’ll get inspected and I’ll pay tariffs on aluminum and steel. Same shit. If I drive across it’s just the risk of getting searched. Maybe I can call the border and ask? I’m not sure. Fortune auto is...

Yes thankfully 0 fees. I paid $75 to ship them originally and they got a round trip for that price so that’s OK lol. I thought I’d get hit for sure. Now to figure in how to get them to Virginia. Pain in my ass

They’re back. Happy new year btw Now to figure out how in the fuck to get these to fortune auto. Pain in my ass.

Received some JDM goodies direct from Japan this week. Mostly boring stuff. Type R oil pump kit, some timing parts, some nice Japanese valve springs. They look OEM lol it’s interesting how these guys do stuff. I have everything needed to assemble the cylinder head. Just need to measure the...

Spent 3 days thinking about it. Really seriously thinking about it. Retirement wouldn’t be the answer for me and it wouldn’t be enough money to start another build. It wouldn’t even be enough to replicate this build. Not even close. All paths lead to keeping to car. It’s definitely in my...

Had a buddy offer me a chunk of cash for the civic. I would take a few parts off and sell those but otherwise it would be a quick and easy way to get out of this. His offer is fair. The car isn’t worth much in its current state. I would be able to afford nothing and build nothing with the...

Made more phone calls today. I’m basically fucked. They’ll try to collect the fees from me which I ain’t fucking paying. This is a hostage situation straight up and I am not playing I ain’t paying I don’t give a fuck. I will sooner part the car out and be done with this misery The amount of...

It’s already marked as RMA. Returned for service. In the past this always bypassed all fees. I’ve done it with video cards for warranty. This is something new. Tariffs and whatever bullshit made up fees They’ve always charged fees normal shit I’d expect 40-80usd for something like this which...
